Does smoke come out of the right engine nacelle at 3:20?

There is an excellent Youtube video here of the real thing.

Awesome video.. had not seen that one before...

right at 3:26 is when is drops water.. yes this thing picks up and drops water like the real thing with retracts... right at 3:20 I would have to believe that is smoke as he his using dual nitro engines.

Another nice one made from foam with working scoop and drop tank.
